Chapter 74 - Episode 74: Echoes of us

Scene opens just before dawn.

The world is eerily quiet. The team stands on the hill overlooking the sealed valley—the final battlefield.

Bo (softly):

"So… this is it."

Xie Luang: "No backing down now."

**Suddenly, a memory crystal activates. It glows mid-air, projecting a memory — Jin, Yooha, Bo, He Wang, Meiqi, and Xie Luang — their very first day at the Academy.

Younger Yooha (awkwardly): "Please don't talk to me."

Younger Bo: "Too late! We're already roommates!"

Everyone chuckles, even now. Then—

Jin (present):"We've come far."

Cut to each character's silent moment

Meiqi clutching a ribbon from her little sister.

He Wang polishing his blade with trembling hands.

Xie Luang staring at the moon, murmuring a prayer.

Bo pulling out a small notebook: "If I die… tell them I was hilarious."

Yooha (whispers):"I don't want to lose this… I don't want to lose us."

Jin takes her hand."Then we fight. Together."

Scene shifts to flashbacks of training,

laughter, heartbreak, the rooftop kiss, saving each other over and over.

Master Xun (off-screen narration):"What makes a hero? Power? Destiny? No. It's the will to protect love, even if it means breaking."

Thunder rumbles. The black mist army approaches. The seal on the valley begins to crack.

Bo (raising his blade):

> "No more running. Let's show them what legends look like."

Scene ends with them walking into the valley… side by side. United.
